Greetings

when trying to view help using pandoc I get the error below (help using the help browser works fine and checkhealth is OK):

Possibly related I am receiving "Error no tags file" when I try to view source for an Object in the editor.

SCNvimGenerateAssets throws the following error

ERROR: Primitive '_FileWrite' failed.
Failed.

@cdbzb Thanks for the report. It looks like the SCNvim classes might be out-of-date based on the output from the first error. Perhaps try :lua require'scnvim.install'.uninstall() or manually deleting the link at /Users/michael/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/scide_scnvim in case there is some kind of conflict from an older install. The classes will be linked automatically the next time you call scnvim.setup.

Thanks! I had actual files rather than links in the Classes folder. and thanks for this amazing project

This just cleared up a host of issues I ran into after upgrading to the new config and might be worth mentioning on the migration page in the wiki if there are no potential unsavoury side-effects.
